Example sentence for はじめまして is completely cooked

[Morgawr]

Japanese:

「はじめまして、ジェイムズさん」「こちらこそ、あなたにお会いできて、こんなに嬉しいことはありません」

English:

"How do you do, Mr James?" "Fine, thanks for asking. Nice to meet you."

Honestly I can't even begin to imagine how I'd fix this sentence. It's just... lol.

Oh looks like it's also the same example sentence for こちらこそ

Surprisingly, there are only two other sentences in the corpus for はじめまして. Not a lot of great options to choose from.

The Japanese sentence seems mostly okay to me. Overuse of "あなた" is a red flag, but there's always a lot of that in example sentences.

I updated the translation:

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. James." "The pleasure is all mine. It's an honor to make your acquaintance."
